Speaking of Jim Jones

[Pidgeon]

Yeah, ideally everyone should have just ignored me.

You've got a great career in TV, PidgeonGlenn Beck.

Glenn Beck is Pidgeon?

Kudos to Pidgeon for keeping his identity under wraps.

[dave from knoxville]

Just because I can't believe you're allowing yourself to be so bothered by Pidgeon's obvious (and surprisingly successful) fishing for attention that you're rising to the bait.  (Please take my surprise as testament to my good opinion of you.)

He doesn't bother me so much as he invokes my pity. Everyone I have ever met who prides themselves on their ability to troll was, ummm, a prick. I doubt he can see that in himself. He probably thinks he's clever, in a douchy condescending way. If my son engaged in such behavior, I would make him go choose his own switch.

Pidgeon is the Clifford of this board. Dave and I alternate as Charles Grodin.

If it makes a different, I try to be completely polite in person (especially to my parents). I only troll online to get the sillies out.

to be wrong.

Is there a character in Clifford who reacted by at most raising an eyebrow?

[Martin]

Why don't you go somewhere else with your trolling? Stupid thing to ask a troll, I know, but still. Quit it or go away?

I had to do that. Once I got the limb with as much leaves on it as possible (for cushion of course) and got beat with it until all the leaves came off.

Oh family.

I'm taking a class all about cults and communes in the fall, so I'll re-open this thread then. MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

[Joe Rogaine]

I don't really care for his rap music.

[Smelodies]

Lewis Black shits on Beck from a great height:

I just bought a used CD of People's Temple speeches.

What's wrong with me?

Also...there's a Garrison Keillor gospel album that I swear is talking to me.

[Smelodies]

Sicko!

Prediction: Glenn Beck is going to slip and advocate armed insurrection or something similar and Fox News is going to have to fire him.

Or maybe it will be as simple as calling Barack Obama a communist, a line he hasn't crossed yet.

[Steve of Bloomington]

I hope you're right. My theory was a Glenn Beck sex tape would surface.
